The deconvolution of gravity or magnetic data requires the separation of two basic components of the potential fields: one component represents a basic irreducible wave form or signature of the potential field, and the other represents the position and scale or distribution of this wave form throughout the area of measurement. 3, record 1, English, - potential%20field

The Laplace equation is equivalent in three dimensions to the inverse square law of gravitational or electrical attraction (in source-free regions; in regions with sources, it becomes Poisson's equation). Examples of potential fields include the field of the gravity potential and static electric and magnetic fields. 2, record 1, English, - potential%20field
